Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the MonitoRSS Discord RSS bot has a feature where the user can change the user agent for all feeds in the config file. However, there is no way to change the user agent for a specific feed without affecting all the other feeds. This can be a problem for users who want to have different user agents for different feeds.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to request a feature that allows the user to change the user agent for individual feeds in the MonitoRSS bot. This feature should be implemented in a way that does not affect the user agents of other feeds in the config file.

Additional context
Having the ability to change the user agent for individual feeds would provide greater flexibility for users who require different user agents for specific feeds. This would make the MonitoRSS bot more customizable and user-friendly.

Apologies for the delay,

I understand the value of this, but unfortunately I cannot provide a timeline on when this will be implemented since there is some complexity here with how requests are optimized

I'll leave this issue open until it is available

Coming back to this, I'm considering implementing this, but I actually don't understand a solid use case for configuring user agent. Can you provide more concrete details, with an example feed for example, on how configuring user agent would help achieve a desired behavior?

Danbooru use user agent to identify request. It will block the bot when using default user agent[1][2][3]

Honestly I don't know about other website that blocks a certain user agent to prevent spamming, but I believe Danbooru is not the only one.
